Streetglow/Endless FD3S show car!
 
Very nice setup, one of the cleanest engine bay I have seen on an FD. Other than the wing and the autometer tach on the dash. Not your usual parts you seen on an FD like those Zeal seats, Spirit R brakes, Auto exe under brace, Works Termis S1 C wheels, Run racing, etc...

StreetGlow sponsors UrbanRacer's Feature Vehicle section, hence the name "StreetGlow Showstopper:..."

The owner (Les) is sponsored by Endless, among others.

Import Tuner issue (BTW marix1521, I'm sure you can order back issues. Look at the editorial section and call the publisher's number for info)

Jada Toys will be releasing a toy version of his car. I thought this was pretty cool.

The engine bay is nice, but the rest of the car is ricey IMO. :o

yeah I'm not too stocked on his exterior. Except for those work wheels that he's got on there. I want those!

marix1521 02-09-04 11:37 AM

take all of the decals off and it would be really nice IMO.... definantly love the RUN Racing hood!

Those heavy subwoofers are actually there to keep weight bias to the rear so the tires are planted during hard launches. :D

You guys are too funny. Just because a car has an excessive stereo system and has decals(which you know the sponsors require) you automatically rip on the car. Look at it, I kinda doubt its main function is to be a real race machine, its a show car. If it was "stock" looking do you think if would find its way on the cover of magazines? Probably not.

Maybe it's because some of us HATE the "import scene" and think car shows are a joke. Maybe because some of us HATE the fate that too many of our precious few FDs are subjected to.....Rice-a-roni.

OneBadRx7 02-09-04 04:33 PM

Understandable but if thats the way you feel then you should be glad to see riced up 7's like this since it makes our non-show car, more stock looking FD's even rarer. Car shows are all that bad, it can be interesting to see what kind of ideas and effort are being put into these cars.

X-Ped 02-09-04 04:35 PM

I saw that FD in Signal's garage a couple months ago. Very nice car.

3RotorRocket 02-09-04 04:38 PM

nice indeed

SkywarpR 02-09-04 04:53 PM

I personally think if your -7- looks like that, it better have the power to back it up. 350 at the wheels isn't quite cuttin' it, IMO.

Gouki7 02-09-04 05:33 PM

My friend knows that guy (my friend used to work at signal) hahaha yeah it's pretty nice. It's not all ricey... man if you wanna see some ricey cars go over to the honda camp.... (I just came from there) omg

RotorMotor 02-09-04 06:31 PM

ill take a stock fd over that any day (it looks like a toy) and with only 350 HP its kind of a joke :wink: ! the one thing that i i do like is the rear flares.... what are they? it says pettit, but the pettit ones dont look like that if i remember correctly... do they have the fuel door deal? anyway, i dont like the car one bit, but i do want those rear flares for the car im building!

Sprockett 02-09-04 07:00 PM

Huge tach....ugh. That car was in that NY Times article I wrote about a long time ago. I just think it looks a little too FNF for me. The engine is nice - the rest just looks tacky (or tach-y).

rzograbian 02-09-04 07:05 PM

wasnt that car at 7stock?

user 9348703 02-09-04 08:46 PM

Yeah it was.... I saw it at Sevenstock too. Pretty nice, but I would do some things different, but nice all in all.

im still wondering why a 2nd tach is needed, and why it has to have a shift light big enough to blind a car behind him...

apex_sideway 02-10-04 12:03 AM

Don't like the graphics but it's well put together and original. I'm sure he just has it cranked to 350hp for reliability reasons; at least that's all i can think of . . .
